Bio bizz making soil acidic?

What’s up guys!
I recently switched from coco and salts back to bio bizz in soil. I have been having some issues with the root zone. My Feed going in is 6.5ph but coming out is 5.2-5.9 I am getting burnt tips, twisted growth and nutrient deficiencies!
Any idea what could be causing this?
This is what I’m using exactly, it was given to my by a buddy who has excellent success with it
power si and mammoth P @.5ml/gal
7.6ml/gal of grow, heaven
1tsp/gal oily cann

should I be running their full line instead? What is going wrong?

You dont really ph it if its bio bizz its hard to burn em with it so u must be using too much grow imo all i use is grow bloom and blackstrap as a boost i dont use there full line and it works fine its the only bottled nute line id use

You dont need the whole line. Gro/bloom is really all you need, but I would def. add in a cal-mag and an enzyme. I use general organics calmag as needed.

I always hear you dont need to pH bio bizz. Ive run the line for 15 years and pHed it all along with good results. But the fact that I keep hearing to not pH has made me give it a test run with out. It just freaks me out that after adding the nutes the ph is down to 5.3-5.5 I dont see how that can be ok.
However when I leave the mixture to sit with benificials with a aerater it comes up to like 6.2 in a few hours. But Ive read that its not good to let the solution sit for too long.

Lower input feed pH from 6.5 in coco to 6.2
Stop measuring runoff in drain-to-waste, if you want to know what is really going on in the rootzone look into a soil EC meter, they also make pH probes that go into the rootzone. Runoff is not accurate it will give you a general idea if things are really bad or not but it's not good for accurate results.
Increase nutrient base strength from 7.6 to 10 ml per/gal.

I had this same issue with Green Planet Medi-One Organic 1 part. The plants are likely gobbling up the nutrient solution and with infrequent irrigations your pH is going to crash with those nutrients.

Update us in a week.

Also if you're trying to stay organic maybe incorporate some Humic Acids and Microbial Teas to help balance pH in the coco.
Real Growers Recharge
Tribus
Mammoth P
Xtreme Gardens Tea Brewz *My preferred method, brew it vs buy powder with fillers and or bottles of water with bits of kelp and micro bacteria in it*

All options you can look at, I don't suggest combining them those are just a few options for example. Not affiliated with any of them.
